Mwamuna ameneyu ndi ndani?
Yesu mwiniyo anafunsa ophunzira ake funso lokhudza kudziŵika, limene tiyenera kudzifunsa kuti: “Kodi anthu anena kuti Mwana wa munthu ndiye yani?” Lidakali lofunika kwa ife lerolino: Kodi munthu ameneyu ndani? Kodi ali ndi ulamuliro wotani? N’chifukwa chiyani tiyenera kumudalira? Yesu Khristu ali pakati pa chikhulupiriro chachikhristu. Tiyenera kumvetsa kuti iye ndi munthu wotani.
Munthu wathunthu - ndi zina zambiri
Yesu anabadwa mwachibadwa, anakula mwachibadwa, anamva njala ndi ludzu ndi kutopa, anadya ndi kumwa ndi kugona. Ankaoneka bwino, ankalankhula chilankhulo cha tsiku ndi tsiku, ankayenda bwino. Anali ndi malingaliro: chifundo, mkwiyo, kudabwa, chisoni, mantha (Matth. 9,36Luka 7:9 Joh. 11,38; Matth. 26,37). Anapemphera kwa Mulungu mmene anthu ayenera kukhalira. Ankangodzitchula kuti ndi mwamuna ndipo ankamutchula ngati mwamuna. Iye anali munthu.
Koma anali munthu wodabwitsa kwambiri moti atakwera kumwamba, ena anakana kuti anali munthu. (2. Joh. 7)Iwo ankaona Yesu kukhala woyera kwambiri kotero kuti sakanatha kukhulupirira kuti anali ndi chochita chilichonse ndi mnofu, dothi lake, thukuta lake, ntchito zake zogaya chakudya, ndi zofooka zake. Mwina “anangoonekera” ngati munthu, monga momwe angelo nthawi zina amaonekera ngati anthu osachita kukhala anthu.
Mosiyana ndi zimenezi, Chipangano Chatsopano chimafotokoza momveka bwino kuti: Yesu anali munthu m'lingaliro lonse la mawuwo. Yohane akutsimikizira kuti: "Ndipo Mawu anakhala thupi..." (Joh. 1,14)Iye sanangooneka ngati munthu, kapena “kuvala” thupi lake. Anakhala thupi. Yesu Khristu “anabwera m’thupi.” (1. Joh. 4,2)“Tikudziwa,” akutero Yohane, “chifukwa tamuwona ndipo tamukhudza.” (1. Joh. 1,1-2).
Malinga ndi Paulo, Yesu anakhala “m’mafanizidwe a anthu.” (Phil. 2,7), “womvera lamulo” (Gal. 4,4)“m’chifaniziro cha thupi la uchimo” (Aroma 8:3). Iye amene anabwera kudzawombola anthu anayenera kukhala munthu weniweni, akutero wolemba Epistle to the Hebrews: “Popeza ana ali ndi thupi ndi mwazi, nayenso anabadwa mwanjira yomweyo… Chifukwa chake anayenera kupangidwa m’chifaniziro cha abale ake” (2:14-17).
Chipulumutso chathu chimadalira kwathunthu ngati Yesu anali—ndipo ali—munthu weniweni. Udindo wake monga wotiyimira, mkulu wa ansembe wathu, umadalira kwathunthu ngati adakumanadi ndi umunthu. (Hebr. 4,15)Ngakhale ataukitsidwa, Yesu anali ndi mnofu ndi mafupa (Joh. 20,27(Luka 24:39). Ngakhale mu ulemerero wakumwamba, iye anakhalabe munthu. (1. Tim. 2,5).
Chitani monga Mulungu
“Kodi ndani ameneyo?” anafunsa Afarisi pamene anaona Yesu akukhululukira machimo. “Ndani angathe kukhululukira machimo koma Mulungu yekha?” (Luka 5:21). Uchimo ndi mlandu kwa Mulungu; kodi munthu angalankhule bwanji m’malo mwa Mulungu ndi kunena kuti, “Machimo ako akhululukidwa, achotsedwa”? Iwo anati, “Umenewo ndi mwano.” Yesu ankadziwa momwe amamvera pa izi, komabe anakhululukira machimo. Ananenanso kuti iye mwini analibe uchimo. (Joh. 8,46).
Yesu anati adzakhala kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu kumwamba - china chomwe ansembe achiyuda ankachiona ngati chonyoza Mulungu. (Matth. 26,63-65)Iye ankanena kuti ndi mwana wa Mulungu – izi zinkaonedwanso ngati mwano, chifukwa m’chikhalidwe chimenecho zinkatanthauza kudzikweza kufika pa udindo wa Mulungu (Joh. 5,18; 19:7). Yesu anati anali kugwirizana kwambiri ndi Mulungu kotero kuti ankangochita zomwe Mulungu amafuna. (Joh. 5,19)Iye ankanena kuti ndi mmodzi ndi Atate (10:30), zomwe ansembe achiyuda ankazionanso ngati zonyoza Mulungu (10:33). Iye ankanena kuti anali ngati Mulungu moti aliyense amene ankamuona ankaona Atate (14:9; 1:18). Iye ankanena kuti anali ndi mphamvu yotumiza Mzimu wa Mulungu (16:7). Iye ankanena kuti anali ndi mphamvu yotumiza angelo. (Matth. 13,41).
Iye ankadziwa kuti Mulungu ndiye woweruza dziko lapansi, ndipo nthawi yomweyo ankanena kuti Mulungu ndiye amene anamupatsa chiweruzo. (Joh. 5,22)Iye anati anali ndi mphamvu zoukitsa akufa, kuphatikizapo iye mwini (Joh. 5,21; 6:40; 10:18). Iye anati moyo wosatha wa aliyense umadalira ubale wawo ndi iye, Yesu. (Matth. 7,22-23)Iye anaona kuti mawu a Mose amafunika kuwonjezeredwa. (Matth. 5,21-48)Iye anadzitcha mbuye pa Sabata - pa lamulo loperekedwa ndi Mulungu!Matth. 12,8.) Ngati iye akanakhala “munthu yekha,” chimenecho chikanakhala chiphunzitso chodzikuza, chauchimo.
Koma Yesu anatsimikizira mawu ake ndi ntchito zodabwitsa. “Khulupirirani Ine kuti Ine ndili mwa Atate, ndipo Atate ali mwa Ine; kapena ngati sichoncho, khulupirirani Ine chifukwa cha ntchito zomwezo.” (Joh.14,11)Zozizwitsa sizingakakamize munthu kukhulupirira, koma zingakhale "umboni wamphamvu." Pofuna kusonyeza kuti anali ndi mphamvu zokhululukira machimo, Yesu anachiritsa munthu wodwala manjenje (Luka 5:17-26). Zozizwitsa zake zimatsimikizira kuti zomwe ananena za iye mwini zinali zoona. Ali ndi mphamvu zoposa mphamvu za anthu chifukwa ndi woposa munthu. Zonena zake—kunyoza munthu wina aliyense—zinachokera pa choonadi pankhani ya Yesu. Iye akanatha kulankhula ngati Mulungu ndikuchita ngati Mulungu chifukwa anali Mulungu m'thupi.
Chithunzi chake
Yesu ankadziwa bwino za iye. Ngakhale ali ndi zaka khumi ndi ziwiri, anali ndi ubale wapadera ndi Atate wakumwamba (Luka 2:49). Pa ubatizo wake, anamva mawu ochokera kumwamba akuti, “Ndiwe Mwana wanga wokondedwa” (Luka 3:22). Iye ankadziwa kuti anali ndi ntchito yoti akwaniritse (Luka 4:43; 9:22; 13:33; 22:37).
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ndinu Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu wamoyo!” “Wodala ndi iwe, Simoni mwana wa Yona! Pakuti thupi ndi mwazi sizinakuululire izi, koma Atate wanga wakumwamba.” (Matth. 16, 16-17)Yesu anali Mwana wa Mulungu. Iye anali Khristu, Mesiya - amene anadzozedwa ndi Mulungu kuti agwire ntchito yapadera kwambiri.
Pamene adayitana ophunzira khumi ndi awiri, m'modzi wa fuko lililonse la Israeli, sanadziwe ngati mmodzi mwa khumi ndi awiriwo. Iye anali pamwamba pawo chifukwa anali pamwamba pa Aisraeli onse. Iye anali mlengi ndi womanga wa Israeli watsopano. Pasakramenti adadziulula kuti ndiye maziko a pangano latsopano, ubale watsopano ndi Mulungu. Anadziwona yekha ngati cholinga cha zomwe Mulungu akuchita padziko lapansi.
Yesu molimba mtima anatsutsa miyambo, malamulo, kachisi, ndi atsogoleri achipembedzo. Iye anapempha ophunzira ake kusiya zonse ndi kumutsata, kumuika patsogolo m’miyoyo yawo, kukhala okhulupirika kotheratu kwa iye. Analankhula ndi ulamuliro wa Mulungu - ndipo nthawi yomweyo analankhula ndi ulamuliro wake.
Yesu ankakhulupirira kuti maulosi a Chipangano Chakale anali kukwaniritsidwa mwa iye. Iye anali mtumiki wovutika amene anayenera kufa kuti awombole anthu ku machimo awo.Jes. 53,4-5 ku. 12; Matth. 26,24(Marko 9:12; Luka 22:37; 24:46). Iye anali Kalonga wa Mtendere amene anayenera kulowa mu Yerusalemu atakwera bulu. (Sach. 9,9-10; Matth. 21,1-9)Iye anali Mwana wa Munthu, amene mphamvu zonse ndi ulamuliro wonse zinayenera kuperekedwa kwa iye. (Dan. 7,13-14; Matth. 26,64).
Moyo wake kale
Yesu anati anakhalapo Abrahamu asanakhalepo ndipo anafotokoza “kukhalitsa” kumeneku m’njira yodziwika bwino: “Indetu ndinena kwa inu, Abrahamu asanakhalepo, Ine ndinalipo.” (Joh. 8,58)Apanso ansembe achiyuda ankakhulupirira kuti Yesu ankanena kuti ndi Mulungu ndipo ankafuna kumuponya miyala (vesi 59). Mawu akuti "ndine ndani" akusonyeza kuti Yesu anali ndi udindo wa Mulungu. 2. Mose 3,14...pamene Mulungu anaulula dzina lake kwa Mose: “Izi ndi zimene ukanene kwa Aisrayeli: ‘INE NDINE wandituma kwa inu’” (kumasulira kwa Elberfelder). Yesu akugwiritsa ntchito dzinali pano. Yesu akutsimikizira kuti anali kale ndi ulemerero ndi Atate “dziko lisanakhalepo.” (Joh. 17,5)Yohane akutiuza kuti analipo pachiyambi cha nthawi: pamene Mawu (Joh. 1,1).
Ndipo m’buku la Yohane munalembedwanso kuti “zinthu zonse” zinalengedwa kudzera mwa Mawu. (Joh. 1,3)Atate anali wokonza zinthu, Mawu mlengi, amene anakwaniritsa zomwe zinakonzedwa. Zonse zinalengedwa ndi iye ndipo zinalengedwa chifukwa cha iye. (Kol. 1,16; 1. Kor. 8,6)Lemba la Aheberi 1:2 limati Mulungu “anapanga dziko lapansi” kudzera mwa Mwana wake.
Mu Ahebri monga mu Akolose limati Mwana “amanyamula” chilengedwe chonse, kuti “chilipo” mwa iye. (Hebr. 1,3; Kol. 1,17)Zonsezi zimatiuza kuti iye ndi "chifaniziro cha Mulungu wosaonekayo". (Kol. 1,15), “chifaniziro cha umunthu wake” (Hebr. 1,3).
Yesu ndani? Iye ndi Mulungu amene anakhala thupi. Iye ndiye mlengi wa zinthu zonse, Kalonga wa Moyo. (Apg. 3,15)Iye amaoneka ngati Mulungu, ali ndi ulemerero ngati Mulungu, ndipo ali ndi mphamvu zomwe Mulungu yekha ali nazo. Nzosadabwitsa kuti ophunzirawo anaganiza kuti iye anali Mulungu, Mulungu m'thupi.
Kupembedza koyenera
Kubadwa kwa Yesu kunachitika mwanjira yodabwitsa (Matth. 1,20(Luka 1:35). Iye anakhala moyo wopanda tchimo. (Hebr. 4,15)Anali wopanda chilema, wopanda chilema (Hebr. 7,26; 9:14). Sanachite tchimo lililonse (1. Petr. 2,22)mwa iye munalibe uchimo (1. Joh. 3,5)Sanadziwe kalikonse za tchimo lililonse. (2. Kor. 5,21)Ngakhale mayeserowo anali amphamvu bwanji, Yesu nthawi zonse anali ndi chikhumbo chachikulu chomvera Mulungu. Ntchito yake inali kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu. (Hebr.10,7).
Nthawi zingapo, anthu ankalambira Yesu (Matth. 14,3328,9 ndi 17; Joh. 9,38Angelo salola kuti alambidwe (Chivumbulutso 19:10), koma Yesu analola. Inde, ngakhale angelo amalambira Mwana wa Mulungu. (Hebr. 1,6)Mapemphero ena ankapita mwachindunji kwa Yesu (Apg.7,59-60; 2. Kor. 12,8; Chiv. 22:20).
Chipangano Chatsopano chimatamanda Yesu Kristu mopambanitsa, ndi mawu amene nthaŵi zambiri amasungidwa kwa Mulungu: “Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero ku nthawi za nthawi! Amene "(2. Tim. 4,18; 2. Petr. 3,18(Chivumbulutso 1:6). Ali ndi dzina lapamwamba kwambiri la wolamulira lomwe lingapatsidwe. (Eph. 1,20-21)Kumutcha Mulungu si kukokomeza.
Mu Chivumbulutso, Mulungu ndi Mwanawankhosa akuyamikiridwa mofanana, kusonyeza kufanana kwawo: “Kwa Iye wakukhala pa mpando wachifumu ndi kwa Mwanawankhosa kukhale chiyamiko, ulemu, ulemerero, ndi mphamvu, kwamuyaya!” (Chivumbulutso 5:13). Mwanayo ayenera kulemekezedwa mofanana ndi Atate. (Joh. 5,23)Mulungu ndi Yesu onse amatchedwa Alefa ndi Omega, chiyambi ndi mapeto a zinthu zonse (Chivumbulutso 1:8 ndi 17; 21:6; 22:13).
Ndime za Chipangano Chakale zonena za Mulungu nthawi zambiri zimatengedwa mu Chipangano Chatsopano ndikugwiritsidwa ntchito kwa Yesu Khristu.
Chimodzi mwazodziwika kwambiri ndi ndime iyi yokhudza kupembedza:
“Chifukwa chake Mulungu adamkweza Iye pamwambamwamba, nampatsa dzina loposa mayina onse, kuti m’dzina la Yesu bondo lililonse lipinde, la kumwamba, ndi la padziko lapansi, ndi la pansi pa dziko, ndi malilime onse abvomereze kuti Yesu Khristu ndiye Ambuye, kuchitira ulemerero Mulungu Atate” (Phil. 2,9-11; ili ndi mawu ochokera ku Jes. 45,23 zili). Yesu akulandira ulemu ndi ulemu umene Yesaya ananena kuti uyenera kuperekedwa kwa Mulungu.
Yesaya akunena kuti pali mpulumutsi m'modzi yekha - Mulungu (Jes. 43, 11; 45:21). Paulo akunena momveka bwino kuti Mulungu ndiye Mpulumutsi, komanso kuti Yesu ndiye Mpulumutsi (Tit. 1,3(2:10 ndi 13). Kodi pali Mpulumutsi m'modzi kapena awiri? Akristu oyambirira anaganiza kuchokera pa izi: Atate ndi Mulungu ndipo Yesu ndi Mulungu, koma pali Mulungu m'modzi yekha ndipo motero Mpulumutsi m'modzi yekha. Atate ndi Mwana kwenikweni ndi m'modzi (Mulungu), koma ndi anthu osiyana.
Ndime zina zingapo za Chipangano Chatsopano zimatchulanso Yesu ngati Mulungu. Johannes 1,1“Mawu anali Mulungu.” Vesi 18: “Palibe munthu anaona Mulungu nthawi zonse; Mwana wobadwa yekha, amene ali Mulungu, amene ali pachifuwa cha Atate, Iyeyu adamudziwitsa.” Yesu ndiye munthu waumulungu amene amatilola kudziwa Atate. Pambuyo pa kuuka kwa akufa, Tomasi anazindikira Yesu ngati Mulungu: “Tomasi anayankha nati kwa iye, ‘Ambuye wanga ndi Mulungu wanga!’”Joh. 20,28.)
Paulo akunena kuti makolo akale anali akulu chifukwa kuchokera mwa iwo “Khristu, monga mwa thupi, amene ali Mulungu wa zonse, wodalitsika kosatha. Amen” (Aroma 9:5). Mu Kalata Yopita kwa Ahebri, Mulungu mwiniwake amatchula Mwanayo kuti “Mulungu” m’mawu akuti: “Mpando wanu wachifumu, Mulungu, ukhala kosatha...” (Hebr. 1,8).
“Pakuti mwa Iye [Khristu],” anatero Paulo, “chidzalo chonse cha Umulungu chimakhala m’thupi.” (Kol.2,9)Yesu Khristu ndi Mulungu weniweni ndipo akadali ndi mawonekedwe enieni mpaka pano. Iye ndiye chifaniziro chenicheni cha Mulungu - Mulungu wobadwa m'thupi. Ngati Yesu anali munthu chabe, kukanakhala kulakwitsa kumudalira. Koma chifukwa chakuti ndi Mulungu, talamulidwa kumudalira. Ndi wodalirika mopanda malire chifukwa ndi Mulungu.
Komabe, zingakhale zosocheretsa kunena kuti, “Yesu ndiye Mulungu” ngati kuti mawu aŵiriwo amangosinthana kapena kuti ndi ofanana. Kumbali ina, Yesu anali munthu, ndipo, kumbali ina, Yesu si “Mulungu” wathunthu. "Mulungu = Yesu", equation iyi ndi yolakwika.
Nthaŵi zambiri, “Mulungu” amatanthauza “Atate,” choncho Baibulo silitchula Yesu kuti Mulungu. Koma mawuwa angagwiritsidwe ntchito ponena za Yesu, chifukwa Yesu ndi waumulungu. Monga Mwana wa Mulungu, iye ali munthu mu Utatu wa Utatu. Yesu ndi Mulungu amene kudzera mwa iye kugwirizana pakati pa Mulungu ndi anthu kumakhazikika.
Kwa ife, umulungu wa Yesu ndi wofunika kwambiri, chifukwa pokhapokha ngati ali Mulungu ndiye angatiululire Mulungu molondola.Joh. 1,18(14:9). Munthu waumulungu yekha ndi amene angatikhululukire machimo athu, kutiwombola, ndi kutiyanjanitsa ndi Mulungu. Munthu waumulungu yekha ndi amene angakhale chinthu cha chikhulupiriro chathu, Ambuye amene timapereka kukhulupirika kopanda malire, Mpulumutsi amene timamulambira m'nyimbo ndi m'pemphero.
Anthu onse, onse Mulungu
Monga mmene taonera m’maumboni otchulidwa m’Baibulo, “chifaniziro cha Yesu” cha m’Baibulo chagawidwa m’miyala yojambulidwa m’Chipangano Chatsopano chonse. Chithunzicho ndi chokhazikika, koma sichipezeka pamalo amodzi. Mpingo woyamba umayenera kuyika izo pamodzi kuchokera ku midadada yomangira yomwe inalipo kale. Kuchokera ku vumbulutso la Baibulo iye anafika pa mfundo zotsatirazi:
• Yesu kwenikweni ndi Mulungu.
• Yesu kwenikweni ndi munthu.
• Pali Mulungu mmodzi yekha.
• Yesu ndi munthu mwa Mulungu ameneyu.
Msonkhano wa ku Nicaea (325) unakhazikitsa umulungu wa Yesu, Mwana wa Mulungu, ndi kudziwika kwake ndi Atate (Chikhulupiriro cha Nicaea).
Bungwe la Chalcedon (451) linawonjezera kuti anali munthu:
“Ambuye wathu Yesu Kristu ali Mwana mmodzi; yemweyo wangwiro mu umulungu ndi yemweyo wangwiro mwa umunthu, Mulungu wathunthu ndi umunthu wathunthu ... analandira kuchokera kwa Atate akale ponena za umulungu wake ndipo ... analandira kuchokera kwa Namwali Mariya ponena za umunthu wake; Kristu mmodzi yemweyo, Mwana, Ambuye, wobadwa yekha, wodziŵika m’mikhalidwe iŵiri . . . mmene chigwirizano sichimalinganiza kusiyana pakati pa chilengedwe, koma m’malo mwake zikhalidwe za chilengedwe chirichonse zimasungidwa ndi kuphatikizidwa kukhala munthu mmodzi.
Gawo lomaliza lidawonjezeredwa chifukwa anthu ena amati chikhalidwe cha Mulungu chidakankhira umunthu wa Yesu kumbuyo kotero kuti Yesu salinso munthu weniweni. Ena amati zikhalidwe ziwirizi zidalumikizana kukhala chinthu chachitatu kotero kuti Yesu sanali waumulungu kapena wamunthu. Ayi, umboni wa m'Baibulo umasonyeza kuti: Yesu anali munthu ndipo anali Mulungu wathunthu. Ndipo Mpingo uyenera kuphunzitsa izo nawonso.
Kupeza kwathu chipulumutso kumadalira pa chenicheni chakuti Yesu adali ndipo ali munthu komanso Mulungu. Koma zingatheke bwanji kuti Mwana Woyera wa Mulungu akhale munthu, atenge mawonekedwe a mnofu wochimwa?
Funso limabuka makamaka chifukwa umunthu monga momwe timauwonera tsopano wawonongeka kwathunthu. Koma umu si momwe Mulungu adapangira. Yesu akutiwonetsa m'mene munthu angakhalire ndipo ayenera kukhala muchowonadi. Choyamba, akutiwonetsa munthu amene amadalira Atate kotheratu. Ziyeneranso chimodzimodzi ndi umunthu.
Amatisonyezanso zimene Mulungu angathe kuchita. Iye amatha kukhala mbali ya chilengedwe chake. Angathe kutsekereza kusiyana pakati pa zosalengedwa ndi zolengedwa, pakati pa opatulika ndi ochimwa. Tingaganize kuti sizingatheke; pakuti Mulungu ndi kotheka.
Ndipo potsiriza, Yesu akutionetsa momwe anthu adzakhalire m'chilengedwe chatsopano. Akadzabweranso ndipo tidzaukitsidwa, tidzafanana naye. (1. Joh. 3,2)Tidzakhala ndi thupi longa thupi lake laulemerero (1. Kor. 15,42-49).
Yesu ndi mpainiya wathu, amatisonyeza kuti njira yopita kwa Mulungu imatsogolera kudzera mwa Yesu. Popeza iye ndi munthu, amamva ndi kufooka kwathu; popeza iye ndiye Mulungu, angathe kulankhula m’malo mwathu, ali kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu. Pokhala ndi Yesu monga Mpulumutsi wathu, tingakhale ndi chidaliro chakuti chipulumutso chathu n’chotsimikizirika.
